Vol. 4 — Shipping report
Four updates in one envelope. Three for The Woodlands, one for the cosmos. Here's what's new.
1 · Woodlands Trail Guide — Version 1.6
The township's trails app got a visual refresh and a data refresh in the same release.
New display face (Fraunces) — the app now reads less like a utility and more like a field guide
Branded map clusters — pins group with the Trail Guide palette instead of generic Apple blue
Opaque route card — the directions sheet no longer washes out over bright map tiles
Achievements with progress bars — see how close you are to the next badge, not just whether you've earned it
Township data refresh — paths, trailheads, and nature preserves re-pulled from the Township's ArcGIS feed
Free. iOS. Download or update ›
2 · The Woodlands Fishing Guide — Version 1.7
Three paid add-ons went live for the first time, alongside a handful of free improvements.
Pro Conditions — barometric pressure, sunrise/sunset, moon phase (IAP)
Catch Sharing — one-tap share for your catch log entries (IAP)
Recently Viewed — jump back to the last spots you checked (IAP)
Boat ramp filter, deep linking from external maps, and a StoreKit tip jar (free)
The core 81-spot map and live weather stay free. Forever.
3 · S-Tier Eats — Version 2.5, now on Android
The restaurant tier-list app crossed a quiet threshold this fall: it now runs on both iOS and Android, reading from the same shared backend.
4,777 restaurants across 14 areas (up from 2,617 across 10 at launch)
Plan a Night Out — multi-stop evening builder (dinner → drinks → dessert)
Crowdsourced dietary tags — vegan / gluten-free / halal, voted up by the community
Share your tier list — export and send
Android version now live on Google Play — Kotlin/Compose, same tiers, same community data
4 · Switching gears — Cosmica: Idle Universe
Here's the one that isn't from The Woodlands.
Cosmica is a relaxed idle game for iPhone. Start with a backyard telescope. Grow to Dyson Swarms and Multiverse Receivers. Big Bang your way through seven cosmic tiers for permanent multipliers. Daily rewards, limited-time events, generator specializations.
Full honesty: Cosmica is the one that's quietly paying for the apps you actually subscribed for. The Everything Bundle unlocks the entire feature set in a single tap, and it's the single biggest reason the Woodlands apps can stay free, ad-light, and signup-free. If any of this sounds like something you'd open at the end of a long day, consider it a two-way street.
Free with optional IAPs. iOS.
